The program is at a very mature stage and works fine for composing music and live playback of samples and plugins. The plugins and sampler and MIDI tracks can be played using the PC keyboard, or a MIDI keyboard or other MIDI controller.

When we last updated Macaw, we made sure it was still virus and malware free and the developer's site had no proven issues in any of the reputable site advisory services. In the unlikely event you notice any issues, please let us know immediately, otherwise we will schedule this software for another scan the next time it is updated.

Would not it be better if such programs (midi sequencers) stay in the music creation section?

Marko - Home Page for this software is rated Amber by three site advisory services; WOT, Browser Defender and Norton.

This is another one rated 'unsafe' by WOT with zero comments or reports to justify the rating.

Browser Defender and Norton both report a phishing threat.

Yep, one I missed there Jimbo, strange that a free web host service would choose to operate in such a manner, but it takes alsorts I guess

I don't know other link for download this software. As far as i know it is at google code and I don't think google code has rated "unsafe ". i don't have problem from my anti-virus. Maybe it is an old download link or something ( I don't know ). I'm using it and it is a good program. It is a midi sequencer with a lot of future ( like LMMS )

Developer has obviously cleaned up, no longer rated negatively by the site advisory services, re-instating support for this download.
